No access ramps onto sidewalks in Sherwood Oaks neighborhood. Individuals in wheel chairs often use the street, which is quite dangerous due to excessive speeds on Allendale. Kids on bikes are also displaced into the street, another danger to to excessive speeds and failure to stop at stop signs on Allendale. Parents with strollers as well struggle with no access ramps.
Once again this morning, northbound Patterson traffic light was not cycling green at West 2nd. This happens whenever there is a car-length space in between the first and second vehicles stopped at the light. The traffic signals cycled three times without a green light before the second car finally pulled forward and triggered the light to turn green. When will this be fixed?
Motorists are confused about which lane to be in going westbound on E. Winslow approaching S. Walnut since there is a solid white line dividing the two westbound lanes of the road. I have seen drivers in the right lane turning left onto southbound Walnut.
Traffic light at S Patterson and West 2nd continues to malfunction. Northbound traffic was backed up to Allen this morning. The problem is the sensor (camera?) is not picking up cars in the right lane on northbound Patterson so it is not cycling green, until someone pulls into the left turn lane. It cycled four times this morning at 7:30am before turning green for the long line of cars that were backed up. It only went green when the second car in line gave up and pulled into the left turn lane. This is the second time in two weeks I've reported this problem.
I apologize..I'm not sure I picked the right category. I would like to request a crosswalk at 11th and Walnut..across walnut. The bus stops there and let's large groups of students off that then cross, going west. After dark, I'm worried someone will get hit especially. Thanks in advance. Susan Hingle
NE corner 2nd&patterson. Facing WB on 2nd. This ones closed, right? The hole is more than 6" deep in spots.
NW corner 2nd&patterson, facing SB on patterson. This sidewalk open or closed? Sign laying down in sidewalk.
Allen st greenway. Eastbound at walnut, the beg button is AWOL. It was too far from the roadway to be pushed by a cyclist anyways. The two-stage crossing (beg button in the refuge island) is worth nothing to me because I can only push it if my kids (trailer) are hanging out in the southbound traffic lanes. There is literally no traffic calming for northbound traffic on walnut here, which is still largely unwilling to yield even when the lights are in operation. The stop signs at Washington and Lincoln are facing the wrong direction. It is important to make allen inconvenient to drivers, but it is also essential to make it super convenient (and safe) for cyclists. The routes through bryan park suck for cyclists. Just reiterating a bunch of notes in case excellence ever becomes an interest of the city. Thanks!
We own a business at 14th and Walnut and often see horrible accidents at the corner of 14th and Walnut. We also see DAILY CLOSE CALLS with both pedestrians, cars/trucks and now certainly scooters! There are no stoplights between 17th and (I believe) 10th street. Coming down the hill from 10th street cars/trucks often RACE down the road right in front of us. Having a stoplight at the intersection I feel would reduce the number of speeding vehicles headed towards 17th street. Just this morning I saw someone walking across the street as two cars were speeding down Walnut. I don't know if one of them was distracted or not, but the person crossing the road nearly was hit and I am sure would have been killed. Thank you for looking into this.
Could you please install a painted crosswalk at 3rd and E Grant? 3rd is very high traffic and as cars come around the corner heading west, it makes for a dangerous crossing for pedestrians who are given no right-of-way.
